Tathion 500


Tathion ® Tab


Your body's supply of Glutathione begins to decline by 10% to 15% per decade starting at the age of twenty.

Various daily factors can add to the depletion of a person's available supply of glutathione. Stress. exercise, infection, injury and environmental toxins are just a few of the factors that can significantly reduce your glutathione reservoir.

Reduced glutathione levels result in lower energy, higher inflammation, a greater vulnerability to cellular damage, accelerated aging, a weakened resistance to various diseases, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and many others.

For those who understand how Free Radicals Steal electrons from other cells

- Vitamin E has 3 extra electrons to share
- Vitamin C has 5 extra electrons to share
- OPCs have...250 extra electrons to share
- Glutathione has...1 million extra electrons to share
Glutathione is the KING of ALL antioxidants

As we age, and expose our bodies to stress, chemicals, pollutants, and average lifestyle habits, we begin to lose energy, vitality, mental alertness, and more.

Most of us are aware that there are consequences for our actions; however the danger lies in the fallacy of believing that you will start taking better care of yourself tomorrow.

Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.

What is Glutathione?
Glutathione (GSH) is the body's master antioxidant. It is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity.

Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.

Tathion Tab. consists of active tathion (glutathione) made in South Korea which is the pharmaceutical grade of active L-tathion. This substance is not the same as the supplement grade of tathion which is of inferior quality.
The use of high grade tathion is associated with many positive effects on the bodily systems. The most obvious is the effect on the skin of individuals. Others include the reduction in cancer, heart disease, increased fertility and allows you to live longer.

Tathion will make the skin fairer, smooth and radiant. The skin whitening effects is usually accomplished within roughly 3 weeks of continuous and correct usage. Excessive pigmentation such as dark spots and melasma can also be dramatically reduced. It also slows down the skin ageing and thus your skin will look younger and more radiant.

Tathion whitens the skin by reducing the formation of melanin on the skin surface. It is non-bleaching and non-peeling. It evens out skin tone by slowly lightening the skin and reduces excess pigmentation such as scar marks, freckles and others. It also makes the skin smooth and healthy because of its antioxidant effects as well as rid of pimples and acne. Apart from the effects of skin lightening, tathion also brings health benefits because of its effects on other organs in the body.

Skin Effects
■ softens and supples up the skin
■ whitening (whole body)
■ rids of & lighten scars
■ smoothens the skin
■ reduces melasma
■ reduces pimples & acne
■ increases skin elasticity
■ reduces pores on the face
■ makes the skin more radiant
Tathion is the body’s superior antioxidant and among the most important healing agents. Tathion also reactivates vitamin C and E after their oxidation and thus plans an important role in the activation of vitamin C and E.
"Tathion is a compound, the level in which it is present in the cells of the body determines how long a person may live." Earl Mindell, R.Ph.,Ph.D, “What You Should Know about the Super Antioxidant Miracle”
"Without tathion, other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E will not be able to do their jobs to protect the body against diseases." Allan Somersall, Ph.D.,M.D., dan Gustavo Bounous, M.D. FRCS (C) “Breakthrough in Cell Defense”
"There is no antioxidant more important than tathion. It is the regulator of immune cells and the body’s most important detoxification agent." Lorna R.Vanderhaeghe & Patrick J.D. Bouic, Ph.D “ The Immune System Cure”
"Those who lived beyond 100 years of age were found to have higher levels of tathion than normal. The levels of tathion in the body should be the first on the list of things to be accomplished if you want to live longer." Ivy Greenwell “ The Antioxidant Network, A brief review of "The Antioxidant Miracle," oleh Lester Packer, Ph.D. dan Carol Colman

Derma C


This statement from Mercator Pharma itself proves that Derma C is a fake product.

Mercator Pharmaceutical Solutions does not make Derma C!

Mercator Pharmaceutical Solutions does not have a factory in France and does notproduce the product in the photograph below.

Any claims that it is from France or from Mercator are PURELY FALSE. This seems to be a rapidly expanding scam (as we have only noticed this has popped up on the web in the last few weeks) or someone is using our company's name against our will.

There is no way to know that these products are safe. If you see them online, DO NOT BUY them or use them.

If you find a link for a company that is selling these products, please email Nick at(info@mercatorpharma.com) and we will contact them directly. There are currently too many companies online claiming they sell a product we don't make for us to track them down on our own, but with your and our efforts, we can take it off the web.

Fake Products Confiscated.

In the news today, on television and in the newspaper, 2 salesperson selling Kojic Acid purportedly made by Kyowa Hakko were nabbed after the Japanese company lodge a complaint stating that they have NEVER manufactured Kojic Acid injections.

This has proven us true right from the start.

There are many fake products in Malaysia, repacked using famous company trademarks in order to gain trust, in which the actual companies had never even manufactured the items.

Below are the two news items from the 'The Star' and 'Bernama' news.



There is also a news conference which was televised on ntv7 on the same issue http://www.ntv7.com.my/7edition/local-en/RM10_000_WORTH_OF_FAKE_WHITENING_PRODUCTS_SEIZED_IN_PENANG.html

JMedic Dermal Laboratories Master Pro White EGF White Essential / Hyal Complex







This is another fake product. We will post more details as we receive feedback from our Korean partners.

Aqua Skin Whitening Skinnic

This is another product which is an immitation using the name Skinnic, a brand name and establishment in Malaysia and Expanscience Laboratoires. Upon checks, the manufacturer does not exist in Switzerland. The spelling on the box at the back concerning the address is also a misspelled word for Laboratory in swiss. The bar code also indicates that this is not a product made in Switzerland. We have also looked at the composition in the aqua (water) solution. A few items in it cannot dissolve in a water environment. Thus this is another fake item.

Glutax 4G & Glutax 5G

Another new version of a fake item, taking the cue from Glutax 3G is apparently on the market now. We will post its picture when we have them later.

SLC24A5 Inhibitor II

Does SLC24A5 Gene-Inhibitor really whitens the skin? 

Recently, there has been a new up and coming whitening injection procedure called the SLC24A- Inhibitor. I have seen this product being advertised by several well known aesthetic clinics in the country.

Don't let the complex name confuse you. Putting it simply, what this injection claims to do is that once injected, it will go into your DNA and telling your body to "switch-off" the genetic information that pigments your skin causing a much lighter skin appearance without affecting other pigmented body parts such as your hair, eyes, etc.

Now, this information does sound like too good to be true and honestly as an aesthetic physician, i was very interested to inquire more info bout the product especially before introducing it to my patients.

Here's the information i found out from the manufacturer's website:

Fig.1  "Chief Researcher" in SLC24A5 technology 
 (Picture screen-printed directly from the manufacturer's website)


Information from the Manufacturer's Site : "Swiss Institution of Medical sciences -- Aeskulap Brunnen has once again invented the most powerful skin whitening formulations which is the safest and most powerful in the world – SLC24A5 Inhibitor, which disables the pigmentation gene in the body."

Fig 2.  Dark Zebra Fish claimed to turn white after SLC24A5 Inhibitor Injection
 (A Picture posted on the Manufacturer's Website)


My first instinct was that of amazement. I thought to myself, if scientific research on genetics is already this advanced, we are days away from injectable drugs that can "turn-off" genes for cancer and various auto-immune disease, certainly skin-whitening would not be the number one priority medical application for such advanced genetic engineering technology.

So, my curiosity got me to the path of finding the full article of that "Zebra Fish Research" (Fig.2) that claims to whiten the color of a fish after several injections of this substance.

When i couldn't find this suggested article by "Prof Jason Mest" (Fig.1) through the conventional medical literature search engine, i tried finding the article through the "Aeskulap Brunnen Institution of Medical Research." I thought, this is such a huge research and since "Prof. Mest" is the lead scientist in that particular institute, surely i could find a full-text paper of this calibre easily on that site.


To my surprise, there is no such "Aeskulap Brunnen Institution of Medical Research" in Switzerland as the manufacturer suggested. There is, however, an Aeskulap Klinik http://www.aeskulap-klinik.ch/ (Its a big Clinic in the city of Brunen, Switzerland, not a medical research institute). I tried inquiring if this SLC24A5 Gene Inhibitor therapy is even offered there and at this point i was not surprised anymore that there isn't such therapy or even anything similar to such thing existed in Aeskulap Klinik !

Since the manufacturer also claimed that "Professor Mest" is a Professor in Genetic at the University of Philadelphia Medical School, i thought if this person was real, someone of his caliber would definitely be listed as a faculty in the university website, right?
http://www.med.upenn.edu/faculty.shtml,
and again, not surprisingly, there's not a known professor in that university ever existed.


So, who is James Mest really? Is the research even valid? or does the "zebra fish" article even exist?

I finally located the original article that has been misconstrued in the manufacturer's website and here's what i found out:

Fig. 3: The Original /Real Research Article : www.sciencemag.org


The original/ real article (Fig.3) is a fully valid article entitled "SLC24A5 a Putative Cation Exchanger, Affects Pigmentation in Zebra Fish and Humans."

To my current knowledge, this article was published in magazine called "Science" Vol 310, 16 Decemer 2005 Issue (Note: Although "Science" magazine is an informative and trustworthy scientific journalism, however it is not categorized as a peer-reviewed medical journal).

Basically what the real article (Fig. 3) (explained by the abstract in Fig.3, i have highlighted the important bits of information for easier understanding of the real article) is saying is that  through this research, they have possibly identified the source of different skin colorations in Zebra Fish (Fig.4), so it's not that lighter colored fish turned dark to light as a result of the injection  as the caption in Fig.2 suggested. But that picture is basically pictures of 2 different variants of Zebra Fish that are being compared and studied/ Based on comparing these 2 different colored fish, the researchers found out that the SLC2A45 gene in this particular type of fish may have an important role in determining how one fish gets to be a lighter color than the other. 

The article suggested that the human genes is somewhat similar to that of Zebra Fish and therefore although this research was primarily on Zebra Fish, the result that they found can very well be applied to humans as well.
 Fig 4: Pictures of 2 Different Variants of Zebra Fish


As for "Jason Mest," as you can see in Fig. 3, he actually does really exist (to my surprise) and in fact one of the main researchers in the study from Dept of Pathology in Jake Gilden Cancer Research Institute (as the real article suggested) and not an aesthetic researcher/professor in the non-existant  biomedical institute in Switzerland or part of the faculty in the University of Philadelphia.

Now, before you decide on dropping on thousands of dollars and getting daily injection for 2-4 weeks (the recommended dosage by the manufacturer is: daily or every other day for a total of 36 vials injection in the first cycle to be injected into the muscle/vein) of this "high-tech" genetic engineering whitening solution is not only to question about is efficacy, but also more importantly think about its safety!


 
Because as a physician, i would be having a difficult time in assuring the safety (or let alone the efficacy) of a product whose primary ingredient is rather questionable.

Therefore, the next time you see amazing before/after pictures (Fig.5) in a magazine or waiting lounge of a swanky place somewhere (as I have seen these very sets of pictures being used to advertise this injection product to the general public in several well-known beauty magazines and even sadly endorsed by a medical specialist!), I encourage you to think again and this time more critically and bear in mind these 3 important principles:


1.  If the results seem to good to be true -> they probably are, and
2. If the technology seems to be too advanced from where are now, it probably is ! 
and if you're still in doubt,
3. Ask your doctor a detailed information about the procedure you're interested in, it's your right to know and remember that it is OK to ask critical questions!
